Iolanthe...

In at my Sisters today and another of her Magnolia's are just coming out to flower... This one is Iolanthe.. and beautiful flower that is dark pink going almost white the longer it is open.. I just love the fluffy outer petals... all made better as a shower of rain had just gone through..

Magnolias are such glorious flowers and you've captured this bud beautifully. I like the editing too.
